Xiao Mufeng gritted his teeth and looked at Luo Yao. His fat body was trembling with anger, making him look like a swollen agouta.
"I heard that the eldest prince's crimes were written everywhere in the city today. Is that why you are kneeling here?" Luo Yao asked again.
Xiao Mucheng glared at her angrily, "What on earth do you want to say?"
Luo Yao put her hands behind her back and leaned close to him, "I'm just curious whether the accusations are true. Can the eldest prince help me clarify my doubts?"
"you……"
She straightened up, her eyes suddenly turned cold when she looked at him, and she interrupted him in a deep voice, "It seems like I can't fake it anymore."
Xiao Mufeng looked at Luo Yao in front of him, recalling everything that had happened recently, and frowned suddenly, "Is it you who is plotting against me behind my back?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Luo Yao didn't hide anything and admitted it openly in front of him.
Xiao Mufeng's face suddenly changed, and he was shocked, surprised, and confused.
There is no deep hatred between him and Luo Yao, why would she harm herself like this?
"First you put the blame for the assassination of King Li on me, and then you sent people to sneak into the abandoned courtyard in the middle of the night to kill me, causing Xiangxue to die tragically. Don't you deserve to die?" Luo Yao asked coldly.
"you……"
Xiao Mufeng moved his lips and was too shocked to speak.
"I heard that you even made the emperor faint with anger. It seems that you can't run away this time, so just plead guilty and wait for death!"
After saying that, Luo Yao smiled and turned around and entered the house.
There was no sound at all in the house. The palace servants of Changchun Palace, the imperial doctor and others were all there.
After some treatment by the imperial physician, the emperor had regained consciousness, and the queen was feeding the emperor medicine in front of the bed.
Xiao Yan stood aside, his eyes always falling on the emperor.
The imperial doctor and the rest of the palace people waited quietly aside, not daring to take their eyes away from the emperor for a moment.
As soon as Luo Yao crossed the threshold, Xiao Mufeng hurriedly broke into the room, knelt in front of the emperor's bed and pointed at Luo Yao who walked in.
"Father, the person who wronged my son is Luo Yao. She just admitted it herself. Father, please take her down and punish her."
As soon as Xiao Mucheng's words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed, and the atmosphere in the room became even lower.
Xiao Yan calmly glanced at Luo Yao and quickly understood everything.
She deliberately didn't enter the house with him just now. She must have said something to Xiao Mufeng in the courtyard, which caused Xiao Mufeng to suddenly rush into the house.
The queen reacted first and scolded the emperor loudly before he could speak: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out now!"
"Mother, I really am not talking nonsense. You must believe me."
Xiao Mufeng didn't understand the queen's intention, and said hurriedly: "She is responsible for all the things in the city. She is deliberately trying to frame me."
"Ahem——"
After hearing his words, the emperor's face became even more ugly and he coughed in anger.
"Shut up, me!"
After scolding Xiao Mufeng, the queen was just about to walk towards Xiao Mufeng when she heard the emperor's weak voice.
"Don't stop him, let him continue."
The queen reluctantly returned to the emperor and said softly: "Yes."
Xiao Mufeng thought that the emperor was willing to listen to his explanation, and he was so happy that he continued to turn his head and glare at Luo Yao.
"Last time the emperor's uncle was injured, I misunderstood her because I was worried about his injury, so she did these things to get revenge on him. I am all wronged. I beg your father to see clearly!"
Xiao Yan stood there without saying a word, raising his eyes slightly to look at Luo Yao, wanting to see how she would respond.
The emperor looked at Luo Yao calmly, "Princess Li, is what he said true?"
Luo Yao respectfully stepped forward and replied, "To answer the question of the emperor, I just came to Changchun Palace. When I saw the eldest prince kneeling under the scorching sun, I stepped forward and asked a few questions. I never thought that the eldest prince would make up such a thing."
"You're lying!" Xiao Mufeng shouted, raising his voice.
The queen glanced at the emperor and Xiao Yan, and couldn't help but remind Xiao Mucheng, "Pay attention to the attitude of your words."
Realizing that his attitude was indeed a bit extreme, Xiao Mufeng lowered his head and forced himself to calm down.
"I didn't take it to heart at all about the little misunderstanding that the eldest prince just mentioned, so why would I want to take revenge?" Luo Yao explained calmly for herself.
The emperor looked at Xiao Mufeng again and asked unhappily: "What else do you have to say?"
Xiao Mufeng knelt down and came to the emperor's bed, crying bitterly and then said: "Father, you have to trust me, I will never deceive you."
The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It was obvious that he no longer had the patience to listen to Xiao Mucheng's explanation.
He turned his face away and no longer looked at Xiao Mucheng.
"Father..."
The queen understood what the emperor meant and hurriedly interrupted Xiao Mufeng, "You go out first! Your father has just woken up and needs to recuperate."
"Queen mother..."
"go out!"
Xiao Mufeng swallowed the words stuck in his throat and stood up helplessly to exit the room.
As soon as he took a few steps, the emperor's voice came from behind him.
"Leave the matter of the eldest prince to King Li to find out the truth. Before the truth is found out, the eldest prince is banned from the mansion and is not allowed to step out."
Xiao Mufeng stopped where he was and looked back at the emperor in surprise, "Father..."
"Get down!"
Xiao Mufeng seemed to have not yet reacted and stood there for a long time without leaving.
Seeing this, the Queen quickly winked at him and signaled him to go first.
"My son, please retire."
After Xiao Mufeng left, the emperor said to Xiao Yan again: "The eldest prince's affairs will be your fault."
"Brother, I must find out the truth as soon as possible."
"good."
Because the emperor still wanted to rest, Xiao Yan took Luo Yao and left.
The two of them were walking on the deserted palace road. Xiao Yan put his hands behind his hands and asked coldly: "Are you satisfied?"
"What do you mean?" Luo Yao asked.
"Aren't these all planned by you?"
Luo Yao stopped vigilantly and turned to look at Xiao Yan. Did he already know?
Xiao Yan also stopped, met her gaze, and moved his lips expressionlessly, "You can let the whole city know about Xiao Mucheng's crime overnight. I really underestimated you."
Unsure of his true intention, Luo Yao did not answer, but just looked at him.
He curled his lips coldly, "You don't have to panic, I won't expose you."
Because he has the same purpose as her.
Xiao Mufeng's methods were cruel and violent, and he would inevitably do something due to the struggle for power in the future. Keeping such a person next to the emperor would be a disaster.
It would be a good thing to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Luo Yao quickly confirmed his thoughts and couldn't help but smile at him, "Then what will King Li do next?"
"Of course I am obeying the emperor's orders."
Now that she had revealed everything, he naturally wanted to investigate them one by one.
It was up to him to end this farce.
"Then King Li needs to investigate carefully." Luo Yao said with a smile.
Xiao Yan glanced at her lightly and continued to walk forward.
Luo Yao follows.
The two went to visit the Queen Mother. As soon as they walked out of the inner palace, Xiao Mucheng rushed in front of them.
